After Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo failed, he rushed all the way back to Chenliu, and with the support of his father Cao Song, he scattered his family wealth to recruit the villagers, and received the help of the local powerful Wei Zi, who also took the lead in exposing the righteousness and preparing to crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Because of his assassination of Dong Zhuo, his reputation soared, and for a time, countless heroes rushed to Cao Cao.

The following year, in the first month of the first year of Chuping, Cao Cao issued a letter against thieves, calling on all princes to join forces to fight against Dong Zhuo.

For a time, the whole Han Dynasty was surging, and the princes from all walks of life, large or small, revolted one after another, raised troops in response, and planned to join forces with the sour jujube to jointly crusade against the national thief Dong Zhuo.

Hangu Pass.

At this moment, Hangu Pass, which was originally a little calm, also had a somewhat solemn atmosphere.

At this moment, at the mouth of the wall of Hangu Pass, there is a person standing, solemnly looking in the direction of Chang'an.

This person is also in his early thirties, with a resolute face and a somewhat serious expression, this person is Xu Rong, the guard of Hangu Pass.

Regarding Cao Cao's release of the thief's article, he naturally got the news here.

Therefore, many soldiers in Hangu Pass couldn't help but be a little worried in their hearts, after all, the unknown is the most terrifying, who knows how many princes will raise troops to fight against Dong Zhuo.

And they only know one thing, once that really fights, the first to die at that time must be those of them who are small soldiers, what is more worthless than human life in these years, rather than a peaceful dog, not a troubled world, that's the truth.

And at this moment, Xu Rong looked at the direction of Chang'an with a serious face, and let out a long sigh, I don't know why, he always had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if something big would happen.

This Hanguguan is located on the valley road, connecting Chang'an and Luoyang, even if it is the direction of Liangzhou or Yizhou, it can also be rerouted to the direction of Jingzhou and Jingzhou, and go to Luoyang, it is impossible for anyone to pass through here, so he felt particularly puzzled in his heart.

"Yo. General Xu, are you standing here, are you looking at the scenery? At this moment, a somewhat playful voice came.

Xu Rong frowned slightly. There was a clear flash of displeasure on his face, and when he turned his head to look, he found that it was a young man of twenty-five or sixteen, walking towards him with his hands behind his back.

This person's name is Dong Huang, and he is Dong Zhuo's nephew. However, this nephew is not like Dong Yue, the relationship is quite far away, this Dong Huang is his own nephew Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo has no children under his knees and only a few daughters, so Dong Huang, his own nephew, is also very comfortable with him Dong Zhuo, but he is much better than Dong Yue.

However, if he has the ability, it is really not worth mentioning, compared with that Dong Yue, it is purely a world of difference.

Although Dong Yue has been somewhat sunk now, he still has some ability in the early years. Relying on his own strength, he became one of the four major lieutenant generals under Dong Zhuo.

But this Dong Huang, that's far from it, he is a pure second ancestor, and even his current official position as a captain of the broken water school is also obtained by relying on Dong Zhuo's relationship.

And this time, Dong Zhuo sent Xu Rong with 50,000 troops to garrison Hangu Pass, and at the same time sent this Dong Huang over, in order to contain and monitor this Xu Rong, lest he do anything bad.

"Captain Dong." Xu Rong bowed to the man. Although he Xu Rong is a Zhonglang general, he is also the commander of this Hangu Pass. And he, Dong Huang, is just a school captain, but who calls someone a good uncle, so Xu Rong can only look at Dong Huang respectfully: "I just think something is going to happen." ”

Hearing this, Dong Huang laughed. said disdainfully: "What you are talking about is that Cao Apu, and those princes who don't know the so-called, just rely on them, and they also want to fight with my uncle?" ”

Xu Rong frowned slightly, and said, "Don't be careless, among those princes. There are also many strong players, such as Yuan Shao, who is too guarded by the Bohai Sea, and his ......"

"Shut up!" Dong Huang just scolded and scolded angrily: "You mean that my uncle is not the opponent of those people? ”

"Don't dare!" Xu Rong hurriedly said: "I believe that Lord Xiangguo will definitely win, but you should be careful, so that you can reduce some losses." ”

Hearing Xu Rong say this, Dong Huang's mood was a little better, but the next moment he pointed ahead and asked, "What is that?" ”

Xu Rong hurriedly looked over, his face changed greatly, and he saw that the dust was rolling not far ahead, and the sound of horses' hooves was everywhere, obviously a cavalry rushed towards them, and there were five or six hundred people.

"Everyone, be on guard!" Immediately, Xu Rong gave an order, and the city wall was immediately filled with many soldiers, who picked up the curved bow in their hands and held arrows. All it takes is Xu Rong's order to shoot everything within the range below into a sieve.

"Slow, it's your own people!" At this moment, there was a loud shout from the cavalry team below.

At this time, Xu Rong, Dong Huang and others saw clearly the figure behind the dust below.

The cavalry team below is their own Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but now these more than 500 people are all dusty, ragged, and embarrassed, obviously just after a big battle.

"What's going on?" Without waiting for Xu Rong to speak, Dong Huang jumped out and shouted eagerly, because he saw a figure, a familiar figure, not Dong Yue or someone. And the most important thing is that at this moment, Dong Yue was not riding on a horse, but was supported by a person lying on the horse, covered in blood, as if he had suffered a lot of injuries.

This Dong Huang and Dong Yue are of the same race, and the relationship between them is also quite good, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are like siblings, but now this Dong Yue is actually injured, and he is so seriously injured, it is strange that he is not in a hurry.

"Is it General Xu Rongxu above?" A person came out of the cavalry team and shouted at the city wall, and this person is not Ling Cao or anyone, and this cavalry team, there is no doubt, is naturally the Xiliang Iron Cavalry pretended to be Zhou Fan's Yizhou cavalry.

The so many Xiliang prisoners captured in Chang'an at the beginning finally came in handy at this time, changing into the costume of the Xiliang Iron Horse, not to mention Xu Rong, a person who is not very familiar with the Xiliang Iron Horse, even Dong Huang can't recognize it.

After waiting in Chang'an for a month and a half, Cao Cao finally released a document begging for thieves.

During the period, it was really thanks to Dong Yue's letter, otherwise he would have been dragged by this Cao Cao for a month and a half, and there would be no chance.

And now, the affairs of Chang'an are kept very well secret, and Zhou Fan has also launched an attack towards this Hangu Pass. (To be continued.) )
